1.1 General. This standard specifies acceptance tests for positive displacement air compressors and exhausters, the absolute intake pressures of which exceed approximately 1 mbar¹⁾. In establishing the scope of this standard a positive displacement compressor is considered as a machine where a static pressure rise is obtained by allowing successive volumes of air to be aspired into and exhausted out of an enclosed space by means of the displacement of a moving member. The standard applies to such machines as reciprocating and rotary compressors.
